Live From the Black Girls Rock! Awards

The 2011 Black Girls Rock! award show, hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross and Regina King at the Paradise Theatre in the Bronx, N.Y., Saturday night, celebrated the work and contributions of black women in the arts, business, activism and philanthropy.

The Root caught up with Henson, Davis and other presenters and performers on the red carpet. Watch our exclusive video and see what they had to say about why they -- and black girls all over the world -- rock!
